DVI Hike for Hunger

DVI Hike for Hunger

Dozens of Peoria and tri-county area businesses, churches, and families gathered on the lawns of Samaritan Ministries to hike on the trails at the Forrest Park Nature Center to raise money to benefit the South Side Mission.

Thanks to David Vaughan Investments and all of the sponsors, donors, volunteers, hikers, and the South Side Mission staff, the DVI Hike for Hunger fundraiser raised over $50,000 for 2017 and over $650,000 to date.

The children and youth enjoyed the Illinois American Water sprinkler, Fun on the Run inflatables, the passport and stamp opportunities to win prizes, while the adults had fun hiking, networking, taking photos and bidding on the silent auction items.
All proceeds were donated to help those most in need in the 61605 community.
